Queries describe the users' search intent and therefore they play an essential role in the context of ranking for information retrieval and Web search. However, most of exist...
Ubiquitous computing has established a vision of computation where computers are so deeply integrated into our lives that they become both invisible and everywhere. In order to ha...
Dynamic programming provides a methodology to develop planners and controllers for nonlinear systems. However, general dynamic programming is computationally intractable. We have ...
We present a new algorithm to detect humans in still images utilizing covariance matrices as object descriptors. Since these descriptors do not lie on a vector space, well known m...
We pose the problem of perfect segmentation for regions with ambiguous boundaries. We design machine learning classifiers to identify boundaries and build these into an interactiv...
